Fuel cell

The way to zero-emissions mobility

NEBUS. The New Electric Bus

With the NEBUS (New Electric Bus) fuel cell bus which it introduced in May 1997, Daimler Buses demonstrated an another possible application for fuel cell drive, in this case for urban buses. With a single fuel tank of hydrogen the NEBUS has a range of 250 kilometres and can easily cover the usual daily distance required of a regular-service bus.

In regular-service operation in Oslo, Hamburg, Perth, Melbourne, Mexico City and Sacramento the NEBUS demonstrated its operational capability. The hydrogen is stored in seven fibre glass-enclosed aluminium tanks on the roof.
